Hey guys, wanting to import a car as i have a few mates who know how to do the paper work and all that sort of thing, r u able to get access to the auctions in Japan or can you only do that through a car importer? Are you able to pay a small fee somewhere so you can search yourself and do the paper work yourself and not pay $1000 + for a car importer to do it? Hope that makes sense.

Thanks,

Paradizzle.

Are their places who can buy the car on your behalf and you are able to do all the paperwork? Or are you stuck with paying an import car dealer the $1000+ fee?

Thanks.

yeah there are places..

you have to pay 50000yen for down payment on the car before you can bid at auctions tho.. and you deal directly with the people in japan (however they can speak english)

    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
